About ME

A 21 year old Southern California girl living in the Tundra. I ramble, laugh too much, have 3 book in my purse at all times, and I’m not human until I drink at least 2 cups of coffee.

Hey guys! Welcome to my blog. This is my first time doing something like this so bear with me. I swear it’ll get better.

I grew up in Long Beach, California. I hate sand. Love the ocean. When I was 18, I moved to Bemidji, Minnesota to attend the wonderful Bemidji Sate University. There, I am an English (B.S) and Creative and Professional Writing (B.F.A) double major, which I switched from a Wildlife Management Major and GIS minor. I am also an active member of the BSUSA Student Senate Association as a 3rd year senator and a University Ambassador working in the Admissions office.

I have Bi-Polar Depression, which is hard to live with. Thankfully there is this wonderful thing called fiction that gives my mind a break for a bit.

I have a lot of interests, which include: reading, writing, hiking, photography, running, soccer, football (go Giants!), and homework. That last one is mainly because with a plan of obtaining my PhD, homework is something that will be my favorite enemy for about 5 more years.

Family is really important to me, and I have a big one. I’m the closest to my immediate family, however, which includes 2 little sisters, my parents, and my grams.

I have two tattoos, with plans for more. I love arm tattoos, which sucks professionally.

I’m pretty quiet. I don’t talk too much, unless you are a select few that I feel like I can be myself around. Then I am a crazy bitch who would do anything for you.

Feel free to contact me! My online persona is friendly and outgoing and open to conversation.

Wikis

Once I updated the first Wiki Page (CollectiveWriting), I was a little more confident. I started to understand the way to make lists and headings and what not. By the last page, WikiTheWriting (which I wrote up from scratch), I felt like I knew what I was doing, even though I didn’t write as much as the previous two. The second page, WikisAsSocialNotebooks, was already pretty updated, it seems like the person who refactored it before me put a lot of work and effort in, so I just kind of did research and added what I thought would work with the direction she was going with the post.

WikiTheWriting is not done in the slightest. I did research on it, and really the only thing I found was an article from Writing Commons called Getting Started Writing on a Wikiwhich is actually an article about what Professor Morgan wrote for this course.

I think the more I work on it, the more normal it will seem and the more I’ll get a hang of it.
